    Are you going to stretch the frame? the splitter is kinda longish.

    Why do all that work when you can make you an (OFF)ROAD TRAIN. Just hook em all up together PLUS a cargo trailer for the splits. It might even be semi legal! Check your state regs.

    *most likely you will have to seriously beef up said CJ to haul all this stuff....of course this means you will have an excuse to do what you really want to do..ROCKWELLS!

    Or get an old '77 GMC or similar, with the granny 4-spd/PTO configuration and do a hard-mounted kinetic splitter. If you really wanted to do it right, you get one w/a bale bed and hook chains/log tongs to each arm. Then you could lift the Big rounds up w/o dropping a disc or a testicle... Thrown in a 4bt Cummins for economy (similar power to a small-block) + common GM pattern and you'd be in business. Dang, now I"M thinking about this... A VW diesel equipped Toyota might be just as useful.... Hmmmmm.

    No need to stretch the frame. It is getting a spring over axle job done today though so the conveyor tip wont hit the rear axle. you will see it when its done , im just trying to conserve some space instead of having 3 big pieces of gear lying around id rather have just one thats serves all my needs. Im just going to mount the current engine and pump setup on the jeep chassi. Its a 22hp kohler with 28gpm pump. good enough. Im keeping the variable speed drive for now off the treadmill conveyor as I like the ability to have a variable speed conveyor , makes filling the truck easier.
    Just clearing the back of the jeep frame today then take some measurements and go from there.

    Hey it's cool, it's a tool. Guys do all sorts of mods to jeeps, they don't leave them stock all the time. Your mod is kinda neat.

    Gf has an 80 cj7 here, BTW. She has two old rides, that jeep and a 79 lincoln. Both kinda sorta need some work, but ran when parked.
